As an anthropologist…
Voice of the Elders: Who are the elders? How
are they treated? What do they say? How
does one become an elder?
Legends and Stories: What stories and legends
do people hear when they first join our
village? Whom do they hear the stories from?
What new stories have they heard lately?
Communications: What are the formal
channels of communication? What informal
communication channels exist and who uses
them?

How we behave when…
 We want to be promoted?
 We need to confront a difficult issue?
 We want to celebrate?
 We want our teammates to like us?
 A policy is handed down that we don’t
understand?
 We have a deadline that’s too tight?
 Someone doesn’t meet a deadline?
 A decision has got to be made?

A New
Model of
Culture
Five Key Parts of the Culture House
Changing Culture
 Assess Current Culture and Articulate Desired Culture
 Use an appreciative approach – honor the past as
you assess and as you create the desired culture
 Start change at the top but communicate and
involve
 For the “center section” – strategic and brand
alignment – change processes, structure, decisionmaking, and shifts will follow [Lorsch & McTague, HBR April 2016]
 HR processes – competency models, selection,
development, performance management,
succession - provide great leverage
 Involve top talent in creating new culture – team
projects in Leadership Development design
